As I listen to reports of honoring President Jimmy Carter, I can only imagine the mental gymnastics going on with some who voted for President Trump. Honor vs. hate. Diplomat vs. dictator. Integrity vs. liar. Faith vs. anger. Peace vs. war.

Mike Johnson claimed yesterday that he was reading a prayer written by Thomas Jefferson.

Except it wasn't.

Historians who are familiar with it say it’s not accurate to attribute it to Jefferson or to suggest he recited it daily.

Clown. Show.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening.

It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters.

None.

Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says the only way to defeat evil is with the guy who cheated on all his wives, who was found liable of sexual assault, convicted of 34 felonies, and incited insurrection against America.

Sheer hypocritical stupidity.

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US

We are the only highly developed nation without it

Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation

US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

Liz Cheney was duly honored with the Citizens Presidential Medal today.

My hero, defender of the constitution & woman who leads by example-

Thank you for standing with truth when the republicans surrounding you were mute, weak and frightened, despite profound personal cost.

You like Trump? Tell us why 24 of his own appointees turn against him? Even his second Secretary of defense says, “I think he’s unfit for office. … He puts himself before country.”

Trumps, Fox, Marge, etc. all immediately rushed to pin New Orleans on immigrants, and Trump lied about the crime rate — but the suspect was a U.S.-born veteran who grew up in Texas, and the crime rate is down.

In case facts still matter.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.
